Alchemix yvVault Users Attacked Due to Unauthorized Approvals, Suffering ~$1M in Losses

According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), a user’s Alchemix Yearn yvVault position (token $yvWETH) was attacked, resulting in an estimated loss of approximately $1 million. The root cause of the attack lies in the user’s prior approval grant to an unverified contract (contract address: 0x143a), deployed 10 days ago. Reverse-engineering analysis revealed that this contract contains a vulnerability enabling arbitrary call execution. Exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker successfully transferred the victim’s yvVault position. PeckShield has now publicly disclosed the specific logic of this vulnerability. Users are advised to review and revoke token approvals granted to unknown or unverified contracts to mitigate asset risks.

Hyperliquid's top HYPE long position address has an unrealized profit of $3.42 million

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, the address holding the largest HYPE long position on Hyperliquid has an unrealized profit of $3.42 million, having previously faced an unrealized loss of up to $23.18 million. The address began taking a significant long position on HYPE at the end of October last year, currently holding 1.38 million tokens (worth $56.82 million) with an opening price of $38.675. When HYPE dropped to around $20 in January this year, the address deposited additional margin multiple times to avoid liquidation. Due to the long holding period and large position size, its single-token funding rate has reached $2.107 million.

Aave ETH Withdrawal Halted, Causing an OTC Whale to Incur $540,000 Loss from Discounted Token Swap; 10,000 ETH Still Stuck

According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), an OTC whale previously purchased 163,405 ETH (approximately $440 million) and 4,000 cbBTC (approximately $296 million). Due to the KelpDAO rsETH cross-chain bridge vulnerability, this whale was unable to withdraw ETH normally from Aave and was forced to discount-swap 7,438 aEthWETH (approximately $16.83 million) for 1,930 stETH and 5,272 ETH, incurring a loss of approximately 237 ETH (about $540,000). The whale has since withdrawn 98,032 wstETH (approximately $272 million) and 3,000 cbBTC (approximately $221.6 million) from Aave, leaving 10,000 ETH (approximately $22.8 million) still deposited in Aave.
